Yahoo News Taylor Swift's fans pissed over MTV VMAs nominations
The MTV Video Music Award nominations came out this morning, and when it came time to announce the Video of the Year category, one major vid was noticeably absent - Taylor Swift's multi-layered, controversial, Kimye-calling-out 'Look What You Made Me Do'.
It's important to note that 'Look What You Made Me Do' wasn't snubbed completely, because it was nominated for Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects and Best Editing, but that's not enough for the T. Swift fanbase, who started tweeting #LWYMMDforVOTY and #VMAsAreOverParty after the news broke.
Let's just say the Swifties of the internet are NOT happy about how this all went down. Like, they're livid, and they took to Twitter to express that anger, as is the healthy reaction to things you have no control over. Here, the most angry of their reactions.
"Taylor Swift not receiving her well deserved VMA nominations for Look What You Made Me Do video is one of the biggest jokes in pop culture history."
"Taylor Swift did not break the 24 hour VEVO record with 43.2 MILLION views for @vmas to snub LWYMMD like that."

"EXCUSE ME? @vmas Taylor Swift did not just bathe in diamonds, drag other artists, use a plane, rode a motorcycle, bring back her old personalities, serve us amazing choreo, and break the 24 hour Vevo record for you to just snub her like that. she clearly had the video of the year"

"No #VMA Video of the Year or Best Pop noms for @taylorswift13 and 'Look What You Made Me Do?' Really, @MTV? You draw #VMA viewers by premiering it on your show last year and then don't give it the recognition it deserves? 🤔"

"I watched the LYWMMD video multiple times w day for months when we were doing the boost system and it never got old. The visuals are on point and Taylor literally ended every insult thrown at her. I don't even know how many records it broke. I'm so mad at it being snubbed."

"Taylor Swift is not nominated in the Artist of the Year and LWYMMD isn't nominated in the Video of the Year at this year's VMAs like she didn't break YouTube and Vevo record at the same time in the first day of 'Look What You Made Me Do' mv release. Okay then @MTV @vmas"

"I'm legit confused how they failed to include her... that video was ICONIC on so many levels. It broke records... and din't she premiere it AT the VMAs last year?!?!?! This is just OFFENSIVE."

"Taylor Swift only got 3 nominations because you're bestowing the Video Vanguard Award upon her this year, right @MTV @vmas? Okay, great talk, thanks for clarifying."

"Taylor Swift did not make of the most iconic music videos of all time for it not even to be NOMINATED at the VMA's in ANY category... The whole event should be cancelled, try again next year MTV."
